How is everybody today?

I had a pretty cool ride last night. I took a noob out with me who just so happens to be my father-in-law so that was sweet! I also got to meet Dogwonder for the first time who is a totally chill cat! The ride was of medium difficulty to make sure I didn't scare my father-in-law away from riding ever again.

Hope ya all have a great day!

Mornin Stosh.

Had a painful run yesterday, then tinkered on my bike a bit last night. I'm getting a rather annoying creaking noise (presumably from my BB)...

Looks like I'll finish mowing the back yard then hopefully get in a ride before dark. Might have to make sure my light is charged...

What kind of lights do you have?

 

[jacksonpt]

What kind of lights do you have?

Light and Motion Solo (13w halogen). It's by no means an HID, but for $120 it's a solid light that works well for me.

Today will be day three without riding. Tomorrow's not looking good either. But man am I looking forward to the three day weekend.

 

[douglas]

[McGRP01]

I'm hungry.

I just had a bran muffin with peanut butter! It was f'ing good!

yea, but "about to be married" is worse than being hurt.

Yeah, it's pretty much a death sentence.

But the difference there is that Doug wants to ride.

Morning !


Did some trail work last night. and after ward BadDNA dropped off a load of Scrap wood ( 1 -3 foot lenghts 0f 2X4, 2x'6 2X8 , 2X10 ) Now Peter and I will do some bridge building !!

came in the saame way as yesterday , that I thought was going to be slightly longer . and it turns out to be the shortest way to my office now :???: I guess I need to look at a Map.

Tonight I am leading a Ride for NEMBA leaving from my House , should be fun!

Ha, actually if thats the case there isn't a difference.

Morning!

Had a good day with my kids yesterday. Packed up the Surly frame and wheels and they'll get shipped to Michigan today.

Visited my LBS to see if I could get a few missing parts for my Niner frame, but their prices are ridiculous, and they weren't very nice to me yesterday. So I won't be ordering any of those parts from them. I've given them plenty of business over the last 3-4 years, but i think it is time to move on.

Time to find a new and improved LBS to support methinks.

that doesn't take much ! , But I'd stuff any shot you tried to take on me in Ice Hockey!!

 

[clokstar]

Morning everyone, had a little ride yesterday, nothing special but none the less a good time. Yea, I have to start get suplies and whatnot for school too. Thats deffinatly going to cut into my riding time.

must have been somethign in the water yesterday... I called my LBS to see if they had a crank puller and BB tool in stock, they said they absolutely did, so I left work early and made the 30 minute drive to find out they had no crank pullers.

It's not a big deal, but it's the principle of it all. Just another reminder why I like Victor/Trailblazers so much. I'll now be placing an order with him instead.

Don't even start to think that your paper football skills can dominate mine!

Morning! I just enjoyed a Krispy Kreme donut... yum! BV is off getting educated, and my grad class starts tonight. Fun times, I suppose. Have a good one, all!

How far is Trailblazers from you?

They closed our local KK.

I liked their coffee!

 

[jacksonpt]

2.5-3 hours.

I dunno.

but I went in there recently and they cut a steerer tube for me, and the charge was fair. I picked up my bike and left and then realized that I forgot to pick up about $12.00 of carbon headset spacers. I called and asked them to set them aside for me for the next time I came in. Well guess what? Yesterday the guy I usually deal with tells me that he's not sure what happened to them and that he didn't do the work on my fork. Didn't even bother to go downstairs into the work area to see if they might be bagged up for me. So I just said f'it and I left.

ugh. I have no patience for that kind of garbage.

Morning!

Had to do a little post-ride ice-down on the knee yesterday. It was the size of a grapefruit tight as a tick. It's like I've reached a milestone in my riding---you know, the point at which every ride requires anti-inflammatory measures in order to function. Just swell. :nonono:

Took the pooch to the vet for a checkup before the ride. All is well with him, and after much poking and prodding he was rewarded with several miles of singletrack doggie-heaven!

'morning everyone. School started this morning. Kinda funny, I'm in there with a ton of 17 and 18 year olds.

So... This is my next few years. Wish I had gotten it over with when I was 18, but better late than never!

Morning! Almost had a good ride with Stosh and DW last night. Got all the way there to realize that my rear brake pads are shot. Had to turn around and drive 30 min. home, so it's off to the LBS at lunch today. :mumble:

On top of that, I forgot my coffee....

I try to always carry a Spare pair of brake pads in my Camel back.

You guys ride your brakes to much.
